Dog Grooming Services
At Dames and Dukes, dog grooming is about more than just how your dog looks, it’s about how they feel. We focus on overall wellbeing, offering calm, one to one sessions in our private salon. Our services are tailored to your dogs individual needs. Using only gentle handling and natural, skin-supportive products, we care for your dog’s coat in a way that complements their health, not compromises it.
After carefully testing many different brands, I have chosen Melanie Newman and Artero for all grooming at Dames and Dukes. These products deliver exceptional results whilst being gentle on skin and coat.
Formulated with high quality, naturally inspired ingredients, they allow me to tailor every groom to each dogs individual coat type and needs. The result is a clean, soft and healthy coat without the use of harsh chemicals. By using trusted, professional products, I can provide every dog with the highest standard of care and wellbeing.

The Foundations
Give your puppy the best start in their grooming journey and set them up with confidence in the grooming salon.
The Foundations is a gentle, step-by-step package designed to build confidence, trust, and positive associations with grooming from day one.
By introducing the sights, sounds, and sensations of the salon gradually, with patience, praise, and lots of care, your puppy will grow into a dog who feels safe and settled every time they visit.

Every session is calm, unrushed, and tailored to your dogs needs, so they leave not only looking fresh, but feeling safe, balanced, and comfortable in themselves.

Most specialist treatments can be added to The Rebalance Ritual for a complete, holistic grooming experience. Available standalone or as an add-on.
Expert care for coats that need a little extra attention.

The Nail Care Ritual
Healthy nails are essential for your dog’s comfort, posture, and overall wellbeing. Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect the way your dog walks, and even lead to long-term joint or posture problems.
​
Our Nail Care Ritual is a gentle, stress-free experience designed to keep paws healthy and comfortable. Nails are carefully trimmed and smoothed where needed. Regular nail care helps prevent discomfort, supports proper gait, and keeps your dog active and happy.​

The Smile Care Ritual
A happy, healthy smile starts here.
Dental health is often overlooked, yet it’s one of the biggest contributors to a dogs overall wellbeing. Our Smile Care Ritual uses gentle ultrasonic technology to brush teeth and gums without noise, vibration, or stress.
This treatment helps break down plaque and bacteria, freshens breath, and supports long-term oral health. With regular sessions, we can help keep your dog’s smile clean, comfortable, and healthy; reducing the risk of dental disease and improving their quality of life.
At Dames and Dukes, your dog’s skin health is just as important as their coat. I use Nextmune products because they are veterinary-recommended, scientifically formulated, and designed to support healthy skin, reduce irritation, and maintain a comfortable, happy coat. Every product is chosen to complement my holistic grooming approach, ensuring your dog leaves feeling calm, cared for, and comfortable.
Good dog grooming is care you see, comfort they feel, and trust that lasts
